Veken Technology wins first prize for technical invention from China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation

On the morning of December 5th, 2023, the National Petroleum and Chemical Industry Scientific and Technological  Innovation Conference was held in Wuhan. The conference wa s jointly hosted by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation and Hubei Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology. Li Shousheng, president of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, Xu Nanping and Liu He, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Peng Xiaojun and Yang Wantai, academicians of the Chinese Academy of  Science,  and several other  people attended the conference.

The conference listed   2023 China p etroleum and c hemical i ndustry s cientific and t echnological i nnovation  awards winners . Veken Technology won the first prize for   technical   i nvention . And, its chief technical consultant , Professor Ma Zifeng from Shanghai Jiao Tong University g a ve a special lecture, introducing the development opportunities and industrialization challenges of sodium ion battery, which received high attention from the conference attend ees .

As early as 2019, Veken Technology collaborated with Professor Ma Zifeng to research  industrialization of sodium ion battery . In September 2022, it signed "Deep Cooperation Strategic Framework Agreement" with Zhejiang Natrium , hiring Professor Ma Zifeng as the chief technical consultant. In October, it strategically invest ed  in the upstream industry chain of sodium  ion battery by officially participat ing  in Natrium 's A-round financing.

At the beginning of 2022, Veken Technology established the Sodium-ion Battery Research Institute to conduct in-depth research on the engineering and technical difficulties  of  sodium ion battery  industrialization by  a professional R&D team; so far, it has accumulated a  large amount of data  on   cathode and anode materials and electrolyte comparison ,  performance test ,   and process engineering, and has made techn ical  breakthroughs . Currently, it has developed the sodium ion battery with an energy density of 150wh/kg and a cycle  life of more than 5000.

Veken's strategic layout aims at  achiev ing   sodium ion battery  industrialization. Nanchang base is designed for prismatic sodium ion cell and its systematic integration . For its first phase , designed production capacity is  2GWh,  and there has the  first GW level sodium  ion  battery mass production line in China .   Ningbo base is designed   for cylindrical cells and battery packs for two - wheeled vehicles, and  planned production capacity of its first phase  is 1GWh.

In the future, Veken Technology will continue to promote its technological path, focusing on the research and development of high-energy density power batteries, long-cycle energy storage batteries, ultra-high safety special energy storage products, and ultra-high cost-effectiveness low-speed vehicle batteries to meet different market demands.
